What is the relationship between the value of an annuity and the level of interest rates?

The answer depends on the type of annuity. If the annuity is a fixed period annuity or an annuity which pays a fixed amount during the lifetime of one or more persons, the value of the annuity will decrease if interest rates rise and will increase if interest rates fall. For example, san an annuity is paying $100 per month for 3 years and the interest rate is 5%. The value of the annuity is $100 x ( (1+5%)^(-1/12) + (1+5%)^(-2/12) + ... + (1+5%)^(-36/12) ) = $3,342.13. If the interest rate rises to 6%, the value of the annuity falls to $100 x ( (1+6%)^(-1/12) + (1+6%)^(-2/12) + ... + (1+6%)^(-36/12) ) = $3,294.90.

If you received 45000 from a life insurance annuity how much federal tax would you pay?

There is life insurance. There are annuities. Life insurance companies sell annuities, but annuities are not life insurance policies. The answer depends on which one is under discussion. There is no income tax on payouts from life insurance policies. Annuities are purchased. The purchase price forms the owner's (or beneficiary's) basis in the contract; that is, the part that will not be taxed. The remainder of the payout is earnings (interest, usually) that have never been taxed, so are taxable to the recipient. How much tax would be due depends on how much of the $45,000 is taxable earnings, as well as how much other income the recipient receives in the year of the payout.

How is your Annuity insured?

Usually it is backed by the financial strength of the issuing insuance company.

Answer 2

But more usually government bonds are bought to cover the payments to be made by the insurer. This guarantees (as far as one can guarantee anything) that the annuity payments are safe. The financial strength of the insurer is a very vague measurement - who'd have thought that an insurer like AIG (massive financial strength?) would go under.

How do you report your annuity on federal taxes when it went directly from IRA account into AIG annuity?

A rollover occurs when you withdraw from one retirement plan and transfer all or part of that amount, within 60 days, to another retirement plan. You will receive Form 1099-R (Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, etc.) from the holder of your IRA account.

Refer to Form 1099-R in filling out your tax return. On Form 1040, you enter the rollover amount on line 15a (IRA distributions). Next to 15b write Rollover. If the total amount of the IRA was rolled over into the annuity, then enter 0 on line 15b.

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics. Select Topic 413 (Rollovers from Retirement Plans). Also, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs. Select Publication Number. Type 575 in the Find box to read/print Publication 575 (Pension and Annuity Income). Type 590 in the Find box to view Publication 590 (Individual Retirement Arrangements).
